History & Background

San Jose is a Mexican tequila whose name honors Saint Joseph, a name frequently used in Mexican tradition for towns, churches and businesses as an expression of Catholic faith. The tequila industry has historically been closely interwoven with the Catholic church in the region around the town of Tequila in Jalisco, where religious feast days have often marked important points in the agave's growing and distilling cycle. The agave used for tequila takes between six and eight years to mature, making production a long-term investment for any producer. San Jose is part of the wide field of Mexican tequila brands that draw on the country's strong Catholic cultural heritage in their naming.
